lol K-ON.

If Spice and Wolf II is anything like the first season, I can understand it's position on the expectation list. And I'm hoping Bakemonogatari will live up to it's expectation.

Hell yeah!!

*yawn*

I'm happy for Higashi no Eden. It definitely beat out the expectations for it!

I also have high hopes for Aoi Hana, even though it's not on the list.

I'm glad Eden succeeded and showed them how wrong their prediction was.

Surprised Valkyria is in the top 10 considering how different it is from the game. Not that that's a bad thing necessarily, but it seems people, at least on mal, are pretty upset by it.

Quite surprised Asura Cryin' got that high considering how bad it is (or so I've heard).

The predictions for summer look alright; I'll be interested to see the actual results. I also think Aoi Hana'll be pretty good, but I'm unsure as it's so short.

I expected K-ON! and Higashi no Eden to be huge...why is it otaku can't predict things very well...(25 for Higashi no Eden? rly??)

Is this proof that otaku would not do well in marketing? lol.

K-ON! scored top spot, no surprise.

K-ON was a very good surprise, I didn't expect to see Valkyrie Chronicles in the top 10.

Well whoever did the predictions in the first place rlly sucks at marketing cause even my predictions were way more accurate than theirs. ^^;

All of those anime deserve their spot in the top ten. Except Asura Crying which was a piece of shit imo (and I dunno about Saki didn't watch) Also, sad to see that Ristorante Paradiso was so underrated D:

No suprise that K-ON is up there.

your joking k-on 1????? saki 3???? asura 9???? 'sigh'

at least eden, cross game, fma, valk, and basara were in the top 10 :/

I'm surprised that Saki managed to rank better than FMA:B. Well, I can sort-of understand it.

lol K-ON, JUST AS PLANNED KYOANI YOU TROLLS XD

Saki's pretty awesome if you can play mahjong...

Umineko is pretty disappointing, and Bakemonotari is holy crap Shinbo you're on more drugs than usual.

I wonder where Shangri-La and Phantom ended up...


Anyway, I will be watching 6 animes that are predicted to be in top 10 this summer, at least some of them will be guessed correctly I hope. I already dropped Umi Monogatari though.

Nice rankings. Better than any American crap rankings

Higashi no Eden - gap in satisfaction and expectation is so wide... Black horse proved.

Cross Game in top10. Nice.

I think expectations for summer are ok, but Asura Cryin' better than Cross Game... i don't think so.

Indeed
